Trivia
Unusually, for a 59-minute British B-feature, this film enjoyed a three week run in the West End. It opened at the London Pavilion on 28 October 1960 and shared the bill with Beat Girl (1960). However, when The Gentle Trap was generally released at normal prices on 11 November 1960, the distributors decided it would better support main feature Paquete sorpresa (1960).

Errores
When Felicity Young and John Dunbar are sitting in the lorry the "scenery" passing behind them is obviously a revolving illuminated drum with foliage painted on it.

Watchable For Its Short Length

Spencer Teakle is a young man who has just qualified as a lock smith. but he's got a girl and ambitions, so he decides to get into a related line of business, and assists an older man with a burglary. When his partner is run down, Teakle finds himself on the run from the police, asking sketchy acquaintances for help. They're willing, for half the take. His problem is they don't see any reason to split with him.

Like many of Charles Saunders' later films, this quota quickie has a nice story, some decent actors, and a budget that doesn't allow much in the way of cinematic frills. With Martin Benson -- best remembered from GOLDFINGER -- as the chief bad guy, it runs through its paces quickly and efficiently enough to never pall, despite an annoying score by William Davies.
